Journalist: Do you feel, however, that we’re making progress in this country?
Malcolm X: No, no. I will never say that progress is being made. If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that’s not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They won’t even admit that the knife is there!

Such a great quote.
Reminds me how people won't admit to what got us here. Republicans have zero memory of spending all the money over the past 30 years. The Bush years are completely scrubbed. This new found deficit concern is so hollow.
